Our Work - Democratic Governance

Most Afghans live in rural areas with limited opportunities to take part in any decisions linked to the development of their community and with no ability to elect their representatives. With UNDP support, the country is gradually moving towards a merit-based system of high-level appointments at the district, municipal and provincial levels. UNDP is leading with its multi-donor program, the Afghanistan Sub-National Governance Programme (ASGP)and supporting the government to strengthen sub-national governance structures.
